I just bought this Centax Clutch from BlueStar. It didn't come with any instructions. Does anyone know where this piece goes?

Is this the thrust bearing that goes in the front? Like in section 8 of this drawing below with the red arrow?

Yeah it is (thrust bearing) the wider of the other two 'spacers' or whatever you'd call them should go towards the engine if it's like mine. Be sure to put some joint grease or similar on it :)
When you going to take it for a run?

Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure what it was for lol.

I still have some parts coming in, then I can reassemble my car. Hopefully soon!
 
Awesome!! just been in the same boat (waiting for stuff) but my car is together as of last night with a front diff rather than the one way - apparently not quite as fast but more / easier control, which is awesome as I still have a LOOONG way to go with driving skills :D
Other thing I would suggest (because my instructions didn't mention it) is to set your 'play' without the other bearing in like it says at the bottom. I put mine together set it to about .4 but was left wondering why it wasn't behaving as it should, checked it again after running and had about 1.5mm play istead of about .3/.4 - someone with 'the knowledge' stripped it down and showed me the correct way to set it before assembling - I still have quite a few spacers to bring it back to correct but I think thats down to the RB c.s. being slightly longer..
